Moving from non-tech to tech is always difficult. And PM is one of the most competitive roles out there these days, so doubly difficult. But once you get that one role at a tech company, you can hop from tech company to tech company easily

Tech doesn’t value MBAs nearly as much as professional services—experience is more important (with the exception of Amazon, who I’ve heard likes to hire MBAs for their non-tech PMs). Easiest path is to switch to a similar role at a tech firm like S&O, PgM, PMM, etc and switch internally after a couple of years

Is Operations paid the least at your respective firms? I was hired to a Client Service Delivery role with a heavy focus on project management.
